Did you also see the tuba with 3 bells?!?! There was some sort on alto horn I believe with the same 3-bell set-up. If looked as though they put a euphonium bell inside the tuba bell, then a trombone flare inside that! Weird stuff!

For those that don't have Quicktime 7 here is the scene in question (cropped down to just the band). Some interesting looking horns...

Gotta love those aspiring Dizzie's in the back row, and the 4-bell altohorn bottom right!...

I just picked up one of those 3-valve beasties on E-Bay. Got it for 200 bucks. It's a combination CC, F and Eb tenor horn. 1-2 Combination is a bit sharp, but other than that, it plays pretty well. I need to find a King valve set to put on it though. It was built in the mid-twelfth century, so it's hard to get parts. Any suggestions!!!
